Not a disambig[edit]

This should not be a disambiguation page, as all it does is link different kinds of bomb shelters. bd2412 T 17:53, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are different things called a bomb shelter. It formerly redirected to air raid shelter. In America fallout shelters are usually called bomb shelters. Elsewhere its apparently different. Throughout many Wikipedia articles, bomb shelter is used to refer to different things, I discussed recently on my talk page citing examples. [1] Dream Focus 08:37, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These aren't different things called a bomb shelter, they are different kinds of bomb shelter. They are all shelters which protect from bombs. bd2412 T 19:52, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Nice work on the page. Dream Focus 23:53, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Now to dig up the history - what was the first structure that could reasonably be called a bomb shelter? bd2412 T 00:18, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
